New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (shoulder) wasn't able to complete Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. He left in the third quarter due to right shoulder soreness. Hopefully, this isn't anything serious, as Murphy III's 2024-25 campaign was cut short by a torn labrum in his right shoulder. Murphy III tallied 19 points, four rebounds, and six assists in 27 minutes on Wednesday. He has been a bright spot on a struggling team. Jeremiah Fears, who missed a triple-double by two assists against Miami, will likely rejoin the starting lineup if Murphy III isn't available after the All-Star break. There would also be additional minutes available for Bryce McGowens, who totaled 13 points, three assists, and one steal in Wednesday's loss.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hamstring) missed the fourth quarter of Wednesday's 136-109 win over the Phoenix Suns. The 2025 All-Star appeared to reinjure his right hamstring, exiting the game with a few minutes left in the third quarter. Williams was on fire against Phoenix, scoring 28 points on 11-for-12 shooting in just 20 minutes of action. This was only his second outing since returning from a right hamstring strain that kept Williams sidelined for 10 games. Williams is unlikely to play on Thursday against Milwaukee and could miss further time, though he will have extra days to recover during the All-Star break. In the meantime, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe could see extended minutes for the Thunder.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Cooper Flagg (foot) won't be available for Thursday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers and will miss the All-Star weekend. The 19-year-old rookie sensation suffered a left midfoot sprain in Tuesday's loss to the Phoenix Suns. A source told ESPN that Flagg is expected to be available immediately after the All-Star break. Dallas will resume the season on Feb. 20 with a matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. With Flagg out, the Mavericks have to fill a gap in the starting lineup on Thursday. Naji Marshall (foot) is the prime candidate to step into the role, though he must first shake off a questionable tag.

Denver's C Nikola Jokic recorded a triple-double, finishing with 26 points, 11 assists and 15 rebounds in a 122-116 win over the Grizzlies on Wednesday, Feb. 11.

Minnesota's F Julius Randle scored 41 points on 14-of-24 shooting in a 133-109 win over the Trail Blazers on Wednesday, Feb. 11.

Bucks' G Cameron Thomas scored 34 points on 12-of-20 shooting in a 116-108 win over Orlando on Wednesday, Feb. 11. Thomas is owned in only 34.6% leagues.

Bucks' G Kevin Porter Jr. recorded a triple-double, finishing with 18 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in a 116-108 win over Orlando on Wednesday, Feb. 11.

Cavaliers' G Sam Merrill scored 32 points on 11-of-12 shooting in a 138-113 win over the Wizards on Wednesday, Feb. 11. Merrill is owned in only 2.3% leagues.

Los Angeles Lakers center Deandre Ayton (knee) is questionable for Thursday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks. He could be out for the third time in four games due to a sore right knee. Ayton's absence would allow Jaxson Hayes to make another start, with Maxi Kleber and Drew Timme seeing additional minutes off the bench. As a starter, Hayes has managed 11.0 points and 4.2 rebounds per game this season. Dallas allows the fifth-most fantasy points in the league to centers, making this an attractive matchup for L.A.'s big men.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Cooper Flagg (foot) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's clash against the Los Angeles Lakers. The star rookie is on the injury report due to a left midfoot sprain and appears set to exit the lineup after appearing in six consecutive games. Assuming Flagg won't play, the Mavericks will need more playmaking from Tyus Jones and Brandon Williams, while Naji Marshall might be his replacement in the starting unit. At the same time, Klay Thompson, who missed Tuesday's loss to Phoenix, could absorb most of the available minutes in the rotation.

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Austin Reaves (calf) will return from a one-game absence on Thursday against the Dallas Mavericks. The team has not included Reaves on the injury report. Reaves is managing a calf injury and didn't play on Tuesday night against San Antonio when the Lakers completed a back-to-back. After returning from a calf strain, Reaves has been limited to 24.8 minutes per game across four outings. He has averaged 20.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.3 steals. During Monday's matchup versus Oklahoma City, Reaves logged close to 30 minutes, which could be a sign he may soon be ready to handle his usual workload.

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Luka Doncic (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup with the Dallas Mavericks. He will skip the meeting with his former team due to a left hamstring strain. This will be Doncic's fourth consecutive absence. Marcus Smart, Luke Kennard, and Kobe Bufkin have a chance to see more action with Doncic out of commission. Meanwhile, LeBron James and Austin Reaves are responsible for keeping the Lakers' offense ticking.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is not on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks, indicating he will return to the lineup. The veteran superstar sat out the second leg of a back-to-back against San Antonio on Tuesday. With Luka Doncic (hamstring) out, James has taken on more playmaking duties, finishing each of his last three appearances with a double-double. He is averaging 21.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.6 assists, and 1.2 steals for the month.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Will Richard (knee) won't play on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. He is battling a right knee contusion, and Golden State has downgraded Richard from questionable to out. After having some standout moments early in the campaign, Richard has not been a major part of the rotation in recent weeks. Across this month, he has been limited to 16.5 minutes per game. De'Anthony Melton, Gary Payton II, and Brandin Podziemski will absorb Richard's minutes on Wednesday night.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Spencer Jones (concussion) will not return to action on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. There was initially a chance Jones would be back after the team listed him as questionable on the injury report. However, he has been ruled out ahead of tip-off. Julian Strawther is set to remain in the starting lineup and has plenty to offer fantasy teams, having averaged 19.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.0 steals over the last two games.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (glute) will play on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been upgraded from questionable to available. Melton has been a starter for three consecutive games, averaging 10.7 points and 2.7 steals in 24.6 minutes. The 27-year-old will be a crucial defensive piece against San Antonio's backcourt, which is spearheaded by De'Aaron Fox. Offensively, this is a bad matchup for him, as San Antonio ranks third in defensive efficiency.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (hip) will be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The team has officially listed him as available after initially giving Murray a probable designation on the injury report. On Wednesday, Murray has a chance to record his first three-game double-double streak of the season. He narrowly missed one in his first meeting with the Grizzlies this season, posting 29 points and eight assists in a 125-115 win on Nov. 24.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Cedric Coward (knee) and guard Walter Clayton Jr. (calf) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Denver, with Coward resting a sore right knee and Clayton sidelined by a right calf contusion. The short-handed backcourt opens minutes for Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr., who combined for 30 points and 11 assists in the last outing, while Cam Spencer and Jaylen Wells should see expanded roles. Jerome profiles as the top streamer, with Pippen a viable deep-league add until Memphis gets healthier.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (ankle) has been cleared to play on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. He is ready to suit up for a fifth consecutive game after initially having a probable tag on the injury report. Braun has started to pick up momentum and matched his season high with 20 points in Monday's loss to Cleveland. He also had five rebounds and a pair of assists. With a softer defensive matchup on Wednesday night, Braun may have an even bigger impact.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) will play against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night. The Nuggets superstar is dealing with an ankle sprain, but the team has upgraded his status from probable to available. Jokic can crush any opposition, but Wednesday's matchup looks particularly juicy for him, as the Grizzlies lack size. The three-time MVP is aiming for his fourth straight triple-double, a feat Jokic hasn't accomplished since the opening games of the season.
